Author's Response:
This cartoon was based on a series of audio sketches called "Abortion" by my brother and myself. We call it "Abortion" because, as a joke, we described the ideas we used for the sketches as being fetuses that were aborted from our minds and into the sketch.
And the guy counting had actually gone in a big circle around the town and ended up back where he started. Seeing that he had lost count, he stopped, opened his eyes and promptly did what you're suppose to do in a duel after you've stopped pacing. :p
